Cow (A-I) and quarter (Q1-Q4) in columns and sampling time (1–8) in rows. 0 indicates no growth, C = growth of Corynebacterium spp, M = growth of mixed bacterial flora, S = growth of Staphylococcus spp. Superscripts 1, 2, 3 indicate sparse (3–10 CFU), moderate (11–50 CFU) and abundant (>50 CFU) growth, respectively.
